The new city council was touted to be younger and more “ideologically progressive” than previous iterations. But the vote tally in favor of doubling funding for Cop City was 11-4, with eight of the eleven being Democrats.

The main product of the APD is White Terror. In revolutionary terms, white is the color of reaction and reactionaries. It was the color of the Bourbon kings in France and was taken up by monarchists across Europe. In the U.S. Empire, white is the color of the reactionary movement by a kind of metaphorical coincidence: here, the White Terror doesn’t represent the terror of monarchs and their nobility revenging themselves on the working people. We’ve never had formal nobility. Here, the White Terror is the terror of the settler-garrisons, the constant fear the ruling classes want to exert on the oppressed nations that they might be surveilled, arrested, questioned, jailed, or murdered at any moment. The police are the agents of the White Terror. It is what they’re paid to make, more so even than the arrests and “crime-stopping” power of prosecution, they exist to terrify and subdue. They are an alien, occupying army, encamped in the heart of every community.

Another Black person is dead — and, at least for the present, his white murderer has walked free, under the blue aegis of the U.S. Empire’s colonialist police.
The impetus behind the “mass exodus” is unclear, but various news outlets attribute it to around 50 cops suddenly retiring following the 2020 June Uprisings. The police have done nothing for the people of Portland other than intimidate and terrorize. Enough is enough!
The issue of Palestine is the issue at the head of the spear. The chain of empire now strains and groans under the Palestinian resistance.
Undoubtedly the two most critical features that the zionists provide are markets and investments for U.S. capital and a place to test weapons and techniques of war, counterinsurgency, and genocide.
